email alert, I just received an email asking me to verify my paypal account.

very good cause yes it is a scam paypal will never send you anything like that they will address you by first name also..this has been happening along time now you need to report it to paypal tho and they will do a ip search on the email and find out who is sending it..

I got one today too and I am almost certain ii isn't legit. I will never log into paypal from an email link. Did yours say something about people from foreign countries are trying to access your account? Thats what mine said. Its always good to let people know this. I fell for it once and I lost my money and had to make a new account. Luckily I only lost a few dollars.

Thank-you for sharing this shaz, the ones that ask for bank details from a "bank" are the ones that almost got me in when I first started using the internet but after a little thought did the "what the?" lol

Hey i think that might be some hackers trying to do something with your account anyway hope you don't do that and thanks a lot lot for sharing such useful information so that we all can be aware of our accounts.

It is a pishing scam,I had several e mails like that : there's something wrong with your account (paypal,egold ,moneybookers) you have to log in, but I never log in on the account by an e mail link. When I logged in to the real paypal or e gold account,they've never asked to change anything. By the way you don't have to verify a paypal account,but when it isn't verified (like mine) you have a limit for sending money to other paypal accounts (1500€).
